cant speak for classics but most newage sti drivers will agree 20 mpg is about right for normal driving.

Touchy subject maybe but I run mine on gas and have done for over 18 months so pound for pound I average around the 40mpg mark without driving like a granny. I initially had it installed (also had a shogun which was lpg) just to save on the fuel runs when visiting up to Lancashire from Wales but found out since that 'gas' runs at 115ron as apposed to 99 for the super, so I saw a big difference in performance so happy days....and before I get slated, imprezas are one of the few cars that benefit from lpg

lol some of u must be driving like old ladys to get that many miles to a tank,

if u buy a high performance car ur gonna get **** mpg, but its worth it for the grin factor, when u start worrying about mpg its time to get a diesel, or both, best of both.

About 250 miles to a tank. Mostly dual carriageway driving at 60-70mph. As soon as I start driving around town I sometimes wonder if I'm leaking fuel.

I've never worked out my mpg and never will, don't see the point in getting a fast car then driving like a oap. The less mpg the faster you normally go !!!
